Group 1 Books – Click here for Strategy to Clear CA Final Group 1

Financial Reporting – Best option is to join class for financial reporting (or arrange class notes of any good teacher near your location - (In my view go for Parveen Sharma Class Notes - NOT HIS BOOK). (Reference book: P C Tulsian – It should be your second choice if you are unable to arrange any class notes)

AS - Sanjeev Singhal (BEST) / D S Rawat

SFM - J B Gupta book with DVD Lactures (BEST) (Taxmann Publication).

Audit and SAs - Pankaj Garg with PM (Best and Sufficient for Exam) – Far better than surbhi bansal.

Law - Munish Bhandari Handbook (BEST) - Plus Padhuka or Munish Bhandari Main book for detailed study, if you have sufficient time.

AMA / Costing - Padhuka or Ravi M Kishore (BEST) plus Study Material, Compiler and Practice Manual (It is better to prepare your own notes for theory portion).

ISCA - Manish Valechha ISCA Textbook (BEST) (Memory Based Edition).... Best seller ... book to fetch high marks in ISCA. well written with awesome presentation … comprehensive and easy to understand... It explains all topics with examples, diagrams, memory codes (refer Study Material if you have sufficient time but not actually required). And at last, go through Practice manual for important questions.

Direct Taxes - T.N. Manoharan Plus Summary Module of Vinod Gupta (Prepare notes for lengthy and typical portion, if possible). Also check T G Suresh’s DT book it is very concise book (BEST for revision) it can be completed easily.

Indirect Taxes – N S Govindan for Concepts (BEST) (Padhuka/bangar for past exam questions). Yashvant mangal is also good for Revision.
